Study on Power Train of Two Axles Four Wheel Drive Electric Vehicle

Reducing the Motor Power Losses of a Four-Wheel Drive Fully Electric Vehicle via Wheel Torque Allocation

Individually-controlled electric motors provide opportunities for enhancing the handling characteristics and energy efficiency of fully electric vehicles. Online power loss minimisation schemes based on electric motor efficiency data may, however, be impractical for real-time implementation due to the heavy computational demand. In this paper, the optimal wheel torque distribution for minimal p...

Yaw Rate Control and Actuator Fault Detection and Isolation for a Four Wheel Independent Drive Electric Vehicle

In this paper, a new actuator fault detection and isolation method for a four wheel independent drive electric vehicle is proposed. Also, a controller based on sliding mode control method is proposed for lateral stability of the vehicle. The proposed control method is designed in three high, medium and low levels. At the high-level, the vehicle desired dynamics such as longitudinal speed refere...

Applying STAMP/STPA to Human Safety System for Four Wheel Drive Power-train

We have been using FT or FMEA...etc to design our new products till now. In this study, we find that the new vehicle product development can be more efficient if we adopt STAMP/STPA, which shows the complicated relationship between human and machine and feedback the hazard in an early development stage. 1 Background After the Great East Japan Earthquake happening on March 3rd, 2011, our company...

Direct Torque Controlled Drive Train for Electric Vehicle

Electric vehicle (EV) due to its running zero emission, sustainability and efficiency is of interest for future transportation. In-wheel technology has been one of the main research concentration points in last decade. BLDC motor is on demand for in-wheel application because of its high efficiency, torque/speed characteristics, high power to size ratio, high operating life and noiseless operati...
